I'm sure the decision tree is complex, and there are branches where what you say is absolutely true. However, given the testing kit bottleneck, if identification of "something treatable" is crucial, it might be better to test

This still involves guesswork wrt the ratio of deaths to infections (IFR). Proper statistical sampling is the only way to get an actual answer.

There is an argument to me made for the exact opposite. Those who are already sick will be treated according to their symptoms, a diagnosis has little bearing on the treatment they will receive and therefore low value. Meanwhile, proper ran

Yes, but I was responding to a claim that we already had "solid numbers on the fatality rate". They're far from solid. We have a small sample that gives us an idea of the CFR, for that demographic, but this tells us very litt

There is no such limitation in Clojure, though it is that way by convention. You can put all namespaces in one file, if that's how you want to roll. You can also split a module into multiple files.

The file system is a storage medium that is ubiquitous and requires no install. It's an implementation detail, (and convenient for piggybacking on the Java classpath construction), but semantically Clojure can be represented as a graph

I'm using Roam for now with the assumption that a json dump would be straightforwardly convertible to a filesystem of .md or .org files. These services usually have full-text search as well (Roam does).

Whether it actually is even 2% more beautiful is entirely subjective. Disciplines that are entirely subjective and cultural tend to develop memetic inbreeding, and one of the ways to reach "ever greater heights" in such an art is
